Electric vehicle charging station rebates for your apartment or condo building.
Thanks to the Province of Nova Scotia, we are able to provide rebates for electric vehicle (EV) chargers to owners of multi-unit residential buildings (MURBS).
There are two EV programs to explore:
- The EV Ready Approach
- The Standalone EV Charger
The first pathway is the EV Ready Approach. So what does EV Ready actually mean? Let’s find out!
A building that is ‘EV Ready’ has an electrical connection installed for each resident’s parking space, allowing the residents a fair and simple process to install an EV charging station at any time, if they purchase an electric vehicle.
The EV Ready plan is a strategy to guide your initial charging infrastructure investments in a smart, cost-effective manner, and enables the building to achieve EV Ready in time. It helps ensure your initial charging infrastructure is future-proofed to meet long-term charging needs.

There are many benefits to the EV Ready Plan, including:
- Cost-effective installation, avoiding or minimizing costly electrical upgrades.
- Higher rebates per charging station and higher total rebate limits (compared to the Standalone EV Charger.)
- An EV Ready Plan is an investment for your building and for long-term EV charging infrastructure.
- Providing fair access to all residents with a parking stall.
Rebates
There are a number of rebates available to help cover the cost of both the EV Ready Plan and the installation of EV Ready Chargers:

- The second pathway is the Standalone EV Charger, a rebate for installing eligible charging stations.
- This pathway provides lower rebates compared the EV Ready Approach, but it’s a simpler process for smaller projects or when installing your initial charging stations.
